ST. PAUL,s cArHoLIo cHURcH.
It's Corner stone Laid Last sunday With
Impressive Ceremonies.


Impressive Ceremonies.
The corner stone of st. Pauls new Catho-
lie Church, Greenville, was laid last Sun
day afternoon by Bishop Wigger with the
impressive ceremonial of the Catholic
Church. The church is in course Of cree
ton ON Old Bergen Road, between Green
vile and Linden avenues, and large con-
course of people gathered there to witness
the services. The basement of the build
ing is already we'll advanced, and the floor
ing laid. Shortly after p. m. the process
sion of acolytes and clergymen formed
near the building, and entering, marched
round the interior, appropriate prayers
being recited by the Bishop and the Rev.
clergy. The corner stone was afterwards
blessed and placed in position, an iron box
containing the history of the church with
several newspapers, coins, Ec., and histori-
cal data being placed in it and sealed up.
The Bishop then addressed the assem- blage,
prefacing bis remarks by saying that Arch
bishop Corrigan had intended to be present
and to address the people, but could not
come. He spoke of the progress of the
Catholic Church in Greenvlle since the
formation of the parish in 1862. He COM
mended the people for having done SO well
and urged his hearers to continue to sup
port their pastor in completing the work so
we'll begun. The Bishop concluded by
giving his benediction to the audience.
The Rev. clergymen present were Vicar
General Salt, DR.. Messmer of the Seminary
at Seton Hall, Rev. Father Killeen of Ber-
gen Point, who took up the collection;
Rev. James Hanly of St. Bridget's,
Rev Father VAIL of St BoIifAce
and Father Curran, of the Catholic Pro-
tectory at Arlington. Although Father
Killeen is one OF the best-known men in
the county, many people thought him to
be some strange monk because of his long
and flowing beard which he has recently
allowed to grow on account of his health
The bishop and the clergyman were hospi-
tably entertained by Mr.. Lembeck after
the ceremonies were over.
The new church will be built of brick in
the Gothic style of architecture. It will
be 152 feet long So feet wide. The
sanctatory will be 90 ~ 80 feet and half
octagon in shape The altar will be of
carved oak and of q tasteful and unique
design. The tower or steeple will be 1872
feet high, and in it will be large clio *
and chime of seventeen bells. The total
cost of the church will not exceed $50 600.
$40 900 of which will be expended on the
building and $4,000 on furnishing and
decorating the interior. Rev. Father
Schandel, the ractor, expects to have the
church dedicated on Christmss day He
has been eniinently successful in his
charge of the parish and he will, doubt
less, have the building finished at the
time expected. Two-ffths Of the whole
cost has been already collected.

Wednesday was his birthday. He went to
Rockaway to superintend some prepare
tions for the opening of his large hotel for
this season. While busily engaged there a
messenger boy interrupted him and handed

somewhat alarmed when his eyes encoun-
tered the following message:
'come home at once, Henry"
signed by his wife. He returned to the
city in all haste and he hurried to his resi-
dence, on Jersey avenue, where he
was met at the door by his wife. A look
OF anxiety was on mis- face when he asked
his wife what had taken place. but it fed
when she told him it was his birthday and
that she wanted him to spend the evening
at home. The parlors were brilliantly
lighted, and when Nh. DATE stepped in he
was greeted by a number of his friends
who wanted to surprise him on his BIRTH
day. And the Commissioner was sur
prised, but it was only for time. The
party spent pleasant evening and enjoyed
the singing, dancing and Rotations with
delight. Messrs. German, Datz and Kaylor
added greatly to the enjoyment of the
guests by their excellent vocal selections.
Excellent music was furnished by Miller's

on last Monday evening for the purpose of
witnessing an entertainment prepared es-

The long-looked for start has been
made, and dirt actually began to fly
Thursday in the construction of our new

The Mexican war veterans must
wait good while for their pensions,
even if they succeed in getting them at
all. 1t seems that the application for
increased clerical force in the pension
bureau was not granted. Mr.. Randall,
of the appropriations committee re-
fused to insert an item making pro-
vision for the payment of extra clerks.
If he had done so the old soldiers
might have had fair show for their
money in the course of six months. AS
it is, nothing can be done. The ap-
preparations made to pay the pensions
can only be used up to June 80 of next
year. All that is not paid out then
goes back into the treasury. Less than
fifteen months to go on, and no clerks
to do the needed work can be employed
until the next congress makes the nee
essary appropriation. This is bad for
the pensioners.

ARERLoUs TREACHERY.

The Americas people have settled one
thing. That is that they are deter
mined that Emporia shall be under no
obligations to them. The vote cast by
them in the bond election, although it
cuts but a small figure in the general re-
suit, nevertheless shows the treacher-
GUS manner of their dealings with the
citizens of Emporia. After raising a
cry that we were going to slaughter
their proposition, they deliberately try
to do by us what they they accused us
of attempting on them. The votes of
Emporia and Americas make quite a
contrast. Not dozen votes in En-
poria against one proposition that was
not against both. The time may come
When orr little neighhor on the north

FROM the recent explanation by Mr..

The Cambridge Press, of Cambridge,
Mass, one Of the Oldest, ablest and
most attractive weekly newspapers
printed in that flourishing city, was
handed US yesterday. It contains a
column letter written by an Emporia
correspondent, speaking in the highest
praise of our city, its railroad interests,
and numerous advantages as manu-
featuring center. The article alluded
to pays many justly merited comp1i-
mentS to our town which has all the
greater weight from the fact of its hay-
ing appeared in the leading journal of
city made famous for its revolution
airy landmarks, its beautiful streets,
magnificent dwellings and busy work
shops, where the wealthy capitalists
and skilled mechanics largely reside.
We reproduce a portion of the article
clipped from the Press in order that
our readers may know that our lamp is
shining brightly before the Eastern
public:
The State Of Kansas is now becoming
rapidly populated. Never before in the
history of the state has there been a
greater reason for rejoicing than at this
time. The era of railroad building has,
it seems, burst forth from it's morning
into its midday vigor with us, and
with it's influence the days of our great
est prosperity. The stimulus of the
philanthropic and patriotic people of
Massachusetts, that contributed SO
timely towards sustaining Kansas in
her youth likewise left her indelibly
stamped with its own energy and great
moral worth.
To-day the city of Emporia. with its
II 600 inhabitants, can well be mar
shaded in the van as a great educa-
tional centre, and embracing popula-
ton second to none other for industry,
thrift and moral standing in all the
great and growing west. Manufacture
ing interests are beginning to attract
the attention of the people, and there is
to-day no better location to be found
for enterprises of this kind than right
here in Emporia. With its unequaled
railroad facilities for reaching out in
every direction, with its abundance of
running water on either side of it
and with its unlimited supply of cheap
coal, this is the place to build up manu-
factories.
